- Matt is funny and pathetic
He loves kissing up to purely, notoriously sinister figures like Adam Fogelson when they have a hit. Evil fears evil!

Canada15 days ago - Host is a mess
He’s a total blowhard with a super annoying voice. He just yells the entire time, cuts everyone off, and is under the impression he’s the smartest person on this show, which is not the case. Why do people like this have shows with guests? It’s baffling.
Apple Podcasts1nbsfmcUnited States22 days ago I listen to this to hear "the other side" from someone who thinks the height of cinema is anything that stars Tom Cruise and who will always support the suits over the creatives. Insightful into that kind of pysche, and a depressing reminder that these are the public perceptions the people who actually make the movies (not just distribute because they own all the resources) are dealing with.

There can only be one. This is it. Everyone else is everyone else and can kick rocks. Matt is the best investigator in hollywood whether you like his brand or not. I do personally but also try to find him on the wrong side of anything ever. That’s pretty rare.
